A Matter of Athmosphere, One Gilt Leather design, two athmospheres

The tone of a color, the shine of a metallic ground, the combination of colors, of course, the design itself will dictate the atmosphere of a panel and dramatically influence the aspect of a room.
My guess is that we are all aware of this.
Yet I can’t resist showing two Moncla panels we recently made. Both are Polychrome versions and both have a Gilded ground, yet thats where the comparison ends.
One was shown in the previous post and is now to be seen at Marchand-Mercier Paris.

This Moncla with its Flat Silver Gilded Ground and bottle green background paint feels
distant and cold despite the use of the red for berry’s fruits and flowers.
I find it businesslike and can imagine it in the lobby of a lawyer’s office.

While this Moncla with its dominating Rich Gilded Ground and transparent brunt earth background belongs in an elaborated private setting.
Perhaps in a hallway leading to the main living room.
Just name it.
It feels warm and serene despite the blue-green fruits and flowers. Opulence might be the right word.

When ordering panels or samples, mind a good and complete beefing as at Lutson, everything is bespoke.

We will make a panel look the way you expect it to.

As Always

General de Gaulle could have commented this quote with his famous words “Vaste programme”
Indeed it is, we’ve tried to make this quote ours, manufacturing leathers that looks ancient, with the same commitment to quality as in the glorious days of the gilded leather.
